So why did we do stop the steal? Why did anyone go to January 6th? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that are involved? Why did that need to happen? If you’re just going to walk it all back and say, “oh, I lost.”

So Fuentes says that Trump can’t admit Trump lost, because that makes everything they did senseless. Which is what we’ve been saying all along.

If you can steal the executive branch and have enough people believe it was justified, because it was actually the counter reaction to a stolen vote, then you have an easier time of mystifying your history and maintaining international relations.
You know like the old playbook of brown shirts in Germany who ended the Weimar Republic.
